如果低收入人口主要通过市场交换获得药品，那么消费者权利就成为健康权的一个关键方面，因此也是解决严重不公正和不平等问题的一个关键方面。在坦桑尼亚和印度，以市场为基础的药品获取占主导地位，对零售销售的监管薄弱。贫困的消费者缺乏关于他们正在购买的药品的必要信息。因此，他们在没有保护措施的情况下面临药品市场的危险，可能包括不合格的药品、不完整的治疗、不适当甚至危险的治疗、过高的药品价格、日益恶化的贫困和/或因无力支付而被排除在外，以及不断增加的抗菌素耐药性。
If medicines are obtained by a low-income population largely through market exchange, then consumer rights become a key aspect of the right to health, and hence a key aspect of tackling severe injustice and inequality. In Tanzania and India, where market-based access to medicines is dominant, regulation of retail sales is weak. Impoverished consumers lack necessary information about the medicines they are buying. As a result they face, unprotected, dangers of the medicine markets that may include substandard medicines, incomplete treatment, inappropriate and even dangerous treatments, over-priced medicines, worsening impoverishment and/or exclusion for inability to pay, and rising anti-microbial resistance.
